Just wondering who is still voting "too early to guess" and why.
Just did. Yes too early to say. Will it go away with warmer weather As the flu does? When will the vaccine be ready? Billions of dollars for the first. Treatment options are being done on live subjects.

This is not the first and not the last pandemic to trouble the world. If I were to guess, its a biological warfare virus that got out. Tinfoil hats but I believe china has the ability to make it go away.
 
I'm honestly surprised that Georgians are taking it seriusly enough to buy out the local stores of water and toliet paper. I always assumed that it would be normal head in the sand stuff until 50 cases popped up in Atlanta. I assumed thats when a huge run on the stores would happen.
 
My take on this is it’s being blown out of proportion and causing people to freak out for nothing. Since Thursday of last week I’ve been sick to the point getting out of bed was an accomplishment and my symptoms were cough, fever, severe body aches, and trouble breathing. Basically I very well could have had this virus based on symptoms but at I was diagnosed with the flu. It’s no worse than that from all reports I’ve seen unless you are elderly or have a underlying health condition.



As far as prepping I have to some degree mostly because I see the economic impact this will have because the general public is running around like the sky is falling. Obviously things will run out when everyone starts going to the store at once and buying more than normal since the supply chain isn’t setup for that. A month from now this will be behind us and the news cycle will move on to the next big thing even though this strain of virus will be here to stay.
